1.14.2 Recommended Nominal
Body Lengths for Chassis Cab
models
The following is the recommend method for
selecting best fit body lengths to suit the Chassis
Cab range, dependant on the load biases of the
conversion
Body lengths shown in the following charts are
given for guidance only, based on a minimum
specification chassis including driver, spare wheel
and full fuel. In the case of Uniformly Distributed
Load (UDL) figures the combined body and
payload Center of Gravity (CofG) is positioned
midway along the internal length of the body.
Body lengths are given as Nominal or Maximum.
Under most conditions the nominal body length
is recommended, maximum body length should
only be used when a nominal length body cannot
accommodate a specific load length requirement.
CAUTION: When considering
maximum length bodies, payload
latitude and flexibility will be reduced
as the available rear axle capacity
is used to the full. Non Uniformly
Distributed Load (UDL) loads that
are rearwards biased, should not be
used with maximum length bodies.
In order to achieve the largest load latitude
nominal (rearward biased) body lengths are the
primary recommendation. However recognizing
each body and its associated payload will have
an infinite number of CofG positions, in addition
to the large number of chassis specifications, it
is recommended that the chassis kerb weight
and plated weights are determined before a
weight distribution calculation is performed.
Chassis specification is assumed minimum with
base engine and drivetrain, any additional
equipment or alternative drivetrain's may reduce
the body length. It is recommended that physical
Chassis kerb weights are established to calculate
weight distribution when ever a body length
greater than nominal is considered.
Bodywork longer than the nominal dimension
may require a rear overhang extension with the
repositioning of the rear light bar and extension
electrical supply circuits. Body floor height may
require an increase in height to accommodate
angle of vision requirements for rear light and
license plate.
430 derivatives are fitted with a rear under-run
bar, modification of the rear overhang may
invalidate approvals, consult your local National
Sales Representative before considering
modification.

2.3 Rear Suspension
2.3.1 Springs and Spring
Mounting
WARNING: Do not modify, drill, cut
or weld any suspension
components, specifically the
steering gear system, sub-frame or
anti-roll bars, springs or shock
absorbers including mounting
brackets.
CAUTIONS:
When carrying out welding work the
springs must be covered to protect
them against weld splatter.
Do not touch springs with welding
electrodes or welding tongs.
Make sure that components
loosened or removed and reinstalled
are properly reassembled and the
torque set in accordance with
manufactures requirements.
NOTE: Do not modify the wheelbase or add any
type of frame extension to vehicles fitted with
Interactive Vehicle Dynamics (IVD)
NOTE: Do not damage the surface or corrosion
protection of the spring during disassembly and
installation.
NOTE: For detailed information please contact
the Vehicle Converter Advisory Service at
[email protected].
2.3.2 Rear Anti-Roll Bar
Remove the rear anti-roll bar on Chassis Cabs,
except on:
•330 and 350 Front Wheel Drive Chassis Cabs
with Box Body or with another conversion that
gives a similar or higher Centre of Gravity
(CoG) height.
•Dual Rear Wheel Chassis Cabs with Box Body
or with another conversion that gives a similar
or higher Centre of Gravity (CoG) height

NOTE: Cab Van Floor Models are currently only
available for use in Motor Caravan applications
Rear seats, if assembled at a Vehicle Converter
/ Modifier, need to be tested according to ECE
R14, 77/541/EEC and ECE R17 by them. It is
recommended to fix the seat frame at three
locations as shown in the following Figure
E74532 which shows the typical design principle
for Cab Van Floor seat frame fixings on top and
underneath the floor. Fixings should be carried
out as U-type bracket clinching the cross beam.
